I'm doing some work on the outskirts of Brisbane, where the properties start to get bigger, doing some clean up. And I got to wondering about residential landuse.
At one end of the scale, you have inner city housing (350-1000 sq m lots), and there's no question they are residential. At the other, there's huge farms with a house - they're not. But what's the dividing line? How big an acreage do you get to before you decide that landuse=residential doesn't really apply any more? What's the consensus? I know of a whole area of houses with 5 acre lots, and they don't do any farming - you just have a big house with a lot of lawn. Is this residential? Further out, I know of an area where the lots are more like 20-30 acres - they're not all lawn, but they're not used for farming or anything either. A couple of them have a pony for the kids, but that doesn't make it a farm. These are used only as residences, but I to me I think we're getting way past the limit of size for marking them as residential landuse. Or am I wrong? Any guidelines or suggestions?
